[PATCH] net: stmmac: Fix interrupt handling for level-triggered mode in DWC_XGMAC2

According to the Synopsys Controller IP XGMAC-10G Ethernet MAC Databook
v3.30a (section 2.7.2), when the INTM bit in the DMA_Mode register is set
to 2, the sbd_perch_tx_intr_o[] and sbd_perch_rx_intr_o[] signals operate
in level-triggered mode. However, in this configuration, the DMA does not
assert the XGMAC_NIS status bit for Rx or Tx interrupt events.

This creates a functional regression where the condition
if (likely(intr_status & XGMAC_NIS)) in dwxgmac2_dma_interrupt() will
never evaluate to true, preventing proper interrupt handling for
level-triggered mode. The hardware specification explicitly states that
"The DMA does not assert the NIS status bit for the Rx or Tx interrupt
events" (Synopsys DWC_XGMAC2 Databook v3.30a, sec. 2.7.2).

The fix ensures correct handling of both edge and level-triggered
interrupts while maintaining backward compatibility with existing
configurations.
